Well got back from Sydeney earlier today, with the trailer, about 700kg at a guess, its fugin huge and heavy, all the way up 15l/100km, 110-120 all the way, makeing pace, return was just under 20l/100 via the the first 400 with all the hills, the last 600 was just over 15 again and thats still 100 110km/h, a few of the hills had me back to 80-90 as once post turbo EGT's hit 500c the engine temp would rise, so from then on maintained 100km/h till temps cam to 450 and backed off.........keep in mind, that's 3 ton on the back

All in all, I'm happy with the whole conversion

I wondered how you got on with it being so early in its life. Phyro temp sounds good with a load like that I would not worry unless it got over 650. You need a better rad I've seen egt over720 and no change in coolant temp. Anyway well done. Goes ok for an ol oiler

My Rad is 4 core I had built for my first 302, its good and works

Those temps are post turbo not preturbo








The head gasket is probably leaking again

It was set at 500 max and on the way with just the trailer would pull them fine, but with the other rangie on the back, it didn;t like it

Its not new anymore, I think its run in

Is good, no luck with the rangie I picked up, started off as no tapered roller kit, got home checked some more, 3.54's not 4.11s and motor has milk under the rocker covers, I;m hopeing it was just drowned, not leakin water, but who knows

But doesn't it go like fug, I mean, it'd be V6 commodore quick

Jeeeez you win some, you loose some I guess, I'll recover all costs, but won;t be makeing money on this one
